BOND, the leading creative marketing agency in the entertainment space, announced it has promoted more than 20 team members in 2022, while also adding more than 60 people to the team in the past twelve months, signaling continued growth as a result of expanded offerings, strong industry relationships and best-in-class creative as the company enters its tenth year.
Despite the pressures of the pandemic and a volatile employment market, the award-winning, fully-integrated creative agency avoided any furloughs or lay-offs and has significantly increased headcount and offerings for clients, cementing themselves as the all-service destination for entertainment marketing needs, including strategy, A/V, digital and social media, web development, production, 3D, visual identity, print design, branding, motion graphics and more. BOND has expanded its teams with an increased focus on gaming, streaming, and insight and audience sentiment, all significant areas of growth for the company.
Among those promoted recently include Darnell Brisco, EVP and Head of Growth, a role in which Brisco will identify new ways to build on the best of BOND, while creating new opportunities that are unique to BOND's fully-integrated operations; Ben Andron, EVP and Head of A/V, for which he will continue to helm BOND's trailer division; Kathleen Philips, Patricio Hoter, Ali Comperchio, Brent Rockswold and Chris LaMons, all elevated to Creative Directors of A/V; and Peter Soldinger, who has been tapped as VP and Head of Creative Strategy.
"This is such a special moment for all of us here at BOND, thriving on so many levels in the wake of such a uniquely challenging past two years. We've purposefully been an extremely flat organization this first decade and it speaks volumes about the special people that make up this community that the time has come to stretch and grow, together." said Seth Phillips Althoff, Co-Founder and CEO of BOND. "We pride ourselves on being a place that empowers artists and nurtures creativity, and we are so grateful that our amazing team has continuously delivered exceptional work for our clients. As we move into our tenth year and expand our capabilities to really know and excite our audiences, the possibilities are endless."
